M Family | Fels-Grove Farm Preserve | Yarmouth, Maine | Maine Lifestyle Family Photographer | Stepheney Collins Photography

Oh this sweet family! When I think back to my first session with the M family, I remember how cold it was and how Declan was just a little baby snuggling up to his mom trying to keep warm on the beach that day. Four years later and Declan still loves to snuggle his mom. Some of my favorite images from their session are of him and Melissa and the very special connection they have: equal parts playful and silly, with a whole lot of love mixed in. We met up at Fels-Grove Farm Preserve in Yarmouth for their session, and I absolutely fell in love with this location. I had scouted this spot a few years ago, but hadn’t had a chance to shoot there until this session. The fall foliage in the background made all my autumn dreams come true. Thank you Melissa and James for trusting me year after year to capture these memories for you and for always making my husband tag along for comic relief! Here are a few of my faves!
